Ancient black grapevine variety originally from western Sicily.
Very late variety, well suited to the region of provenance where it can reach optimal ripeness. Rich in tannins and with a typical and unmistakable spicy aroma. It owes its wealth to its richness in stilbenes, resveratrol and piceatannolo, which are compounds contained in grape skin. These compounds have a strong antioxidant action, and antiteratogena also active in reducing cardiovascular risk. The Perricone is particularly rich in these substances, clearly more than other varieties. This wine is a true expression of its territory without compromise, because of its richness in beneficial substances, its cultivation and natural vinification. Intense color, the aroma is very typical, spicy, pleasant to drink. Tannins are present and perceptible.
